It is pretty much a given that any new Apple device is going to carry the marketing slogan "thinner and lighter". Eventually, there will be a point where that claim won't be viable or useful, but today is not that day. And, we're getting some info on the new display technology that will be used so Apple can hit the "thinner and lighter" claims for the iPad 5...

I would have loved to keep my Lumia but Windows OS sucks!! REALLY, there is no variety and quality apps/games like on Android/iOS. I lost money when reselling it but my next buy is definitely going to be something worthwhile, like the HTC One or iPhone 5S/6.

Funny, because the iPad is the smoothest tablet out there, and it has more than 300000 of optimised apps, while Android tablets have verry few tablet apps, just check Tablified Market to see how poor Android's tabet apps ecosystem is . Honestly i don't care about iPhones anymore (Getting the HTC One) but the iPad is still the king of tablets, because it's more than a bigger phone without phone functionnality.

Sorry but the Nexus 10 isn't what i would call a tablet, due to the lack of tablet apps on Android, when the apps will come, the Nexus 10 will beat the iPad but right now it doesn't.
And there is no excuse for the Nexus 10 to lack tablet optimised apps, Android tablets have been there since january 2011 for 2 years with the XOOM and android 3.0, yet is still lacks when it comes to tablet optimisation, in 2 years with the iPad 3, there was already 200000 apps on the iPad, and now there is more than 300000 of them. If you check the Tablified market on an android tablet, witch displays only tablet optimised apps, you'll find how much the selection is lacking.
Besides the Nexus 10 isn't that good in the hardware side, Only 32GB of storage for a device with such a beautiful device is a shame, and the lack of LTE is a big letdown for a device that is supposed to be mobile, also the screen is great,but there is nothing made for it, Android apps aren't designed for 10" screens to begin with, and they aren't made for 2560*1600 displays. The iPad has a big selection of Retina optimised apps.

iOS is an app launcher. Sure the opperating system isn't exciting but that is not how most people use their phone. Most people like to be in apps. Who sits there and looks at the home screen anyway. The os is a great example of a simple way for people to get into the content they are interested in. Plus the content in iOS is amazing.

Apple is catering to a set of people who would rather have a simple UI. For some people the simple UI is better. They do add new features all the time. However they add features that people in the mainstream are most likely to find useful not the heavy users. Imessage is a great example of that.

Hopefully the release of a new ipad will make the ipad 2 cheaper. For most people the ipad 2 is fine. A ~300$ ipad would be amazing. This kinda would conflict with the ipad mini though. They would need to update the ipad mini to justify its price at that point.

They aren't playing the same game as android. They are both achieving what they set out to. They coexist nicely. People act like they need to pick a side and that is just stupid. Pick what works the best for you and enough with this competition bulls**t.

Nah, I just wish for more competition because consumers will get the benefits, which I happen to be one too. I like both of them but I'm on Android as I prefer its flexibility. I have an iPad mini for its smoothness and the tablet apps, I use it most for reading anyway.
Right now, it's like Android is taking everything because iOS remains the same *with subtle changes tho. Apple is relying on fans and its products 'social status', hope they can change that with something new like what they've done back during the iPhone day.
